a u.s. traffic study found that among motorized and non- motorized transportation devices they use both roads and trails, they have the second shortest braking distance, the best sight lines, and the best response time to user input, making them among the most maneuverable of devices that use our roads and trails. a 2005 study found that segways present the same level of risk to other path users as joggers or children playing. notably, the segways are designed so that the tire pressure is very low, so they can actually run over a person's toes without injuring that person, further reducing the risk of injury to pedestrians for other park users -- or other park users. in working with the concessionaire to develop the proposal, we identified a number of safe operating procedures that we are acquiring the concessionaire to employ. all riders must wear helmets and reflective vests. they're equipped with radios so that the guide can communicate instructions. rather than a certain weight and age i

there was an attempt by ncda to draft a letter signed by all the members of the u.s. senate, which would support maintaining the current level of fiscal year 2010 funding. unfortunately, republicans all stock to say we are not able to sign on to that, and some of the democratic senators felt as if it might be a conflict to support one program over another. both the california senators did sign on to that letter, asking the president to hold the line and actually increased his budget. in terms of how it might affect san francisco, we did our initial projections at a 30% cut. we know other jurisdictions that have a contingency scenario anticipating a 60% cut. we felt that that is not likely to be at that rate. again, the latest news we have from washington was that vice- president biden and other senate democrats were planning to offer up perhaps $30 billion in cuts for fiscal year 2011, including cuts that have been made in the past including the continuing resolution. conservative republicans were asking for $60 billion, so this would be meeting them half way, which m
